type

---

Returns the type of the current style.

Syntax

type = style.type
 

Parameters

type is a sting containing the type.

Example

if ( newStyle.type != "text/css" ){   // not supported!   warnCSS(); }

Notes

For Gecko, the type is most often given as "text/css."

From the W3C spec on CSS: "The expectation is that binding-specific casting methods can be used to cast down from an instance of the CSSRule interface to the specific derived interface implied by the type."
